Peter Obi A Red flag for Nigeria

© Soibi Versatile

Whenever I see those who clamour for Peter Obi with the hope that he will transform Nigeria I find it absurd. First in what way does he appear more qualified? The signs that build up to the emergence of a leader tells a lot about how his government will be. Look at President Buhari as an example who got into power by propaganda and false promises. His tenure has been riddled with controversies related to propaganda and promises not kept.

Peter Obi and his supporters have tried to shut down anyone who gives contrary view to his victory forgetting that this is an election not a private project where you decide for yourself what you want. I often tell people election is a game of numbers and conviction. A large number of Obidients have a closed mind. Election is not a threat game of this and that, not when you are in a minority and your candidate has no grass root in other regions and structure.

Structure matters a lot. The reason Bola Tinubu won the primaries in APC is because over the years he had been building. You saw the kind of landside victory he had, it was not a one day thing. It was years of making friends and playing key roles.

No President without a foothold over the national assembly can have control over policies and move a nation forward because he will not be ruling Nigeria by executive orders. Democracy stops being democracy when such is the practice. The process that has produced Peter Obi is not well baked. For an Igbo man to rule Nigeria the whole nation has to come together. Otherwise ask your top politicians in the east why they did not win the primaries. The likes of Orji Uzo Kalu, Hope Uzodinma, Ihedioha and Umahi know this being experienced and seasoned politicians.

Keep sentiment aside Peter Obi is a growing force but not a ready force to take over the nation. I don’t hate him but just like I said he will play a role in the next election because either way he may be the one who will help Bola Tinubu clinch the Presidency by putting Atiku at disadvantage.

Everyone cannot be President at the same time. The opposition have to come together to say this is who we want . A divided opposition stand a lesser chance to win. In 2019 Atiku had Obi as his Vice yet they lost so what arrogance are you banking on. Election is not won by personal determination. There has to be a conviction. You cannot win by threatening others in a situation where votes count not personal effort. Everyone has his home ground. Your threats can only work in your eastern States because if you go to the North and do anyhow, you will see anyhow.

The whole graphical game of showing fake crowds from Brazil as supporters of Obi or using glitch devices to produce multiple likes and follows on a post for Peter Obi has its limit. If Buhari did it and won it was because he comes from a region with 19 states and is the most popular Northerner. Obi is not even the highest eastern politician.

The unity of Nigeria stands a risk with Peter Obi because he is a tribal politician. Who are his Northern friends? The whole clamour is not for the progress of Nigeria but a tribal card by people of the east after a failed attempt to get a referendum through a Biafran agitation. It is not true that Obi is the best candidate. In what way ? What qualification?

I have been with the Igbos four times in my career and I can tell you the Igbo man is a tribalist. When I see people from the Niger Delta support Peter Obi I wonder if they have a knowledge of the political history of the nation and how these same people massacred their ancestors during the civil war. If by chance Obi gets there you actually believe he will create a fair Nigeria for everyone than Atiku? You think the Igbo man would see you as his brother when it is time for position? You obviously need a brain check. The Igbo man is not naturally fair. He doesn’t have equity in him and his Integrity in terms of money and power cannot be relied upon. When I hear them say those who don’t want Peter Obi love corruption. It makes me even laugh harder because most of them talking are selling fake items, imitations or doing one illicit business. So what love for integrity are they talking about? Does the typical Nigerian complain about corruption except when he is not benefitting. It is a false ideology to me.

Peter Obi reminds me of late General Aguiyi Ironsi in that they are both men, do the hear no evil and see no evil. Ironsi saw the brutality with which his folks took over power in the first coup in 1966 killing all the high ranking Northerners but chose to keep mute and a blind eye putting the nation at war by that bias decision. There was no way the North would have clapped over such a massacre or left it unavenged. Ironsi left his folks Late Kaduna Nzeogwu and co, alive without a meaningful penalty and caused the war that broke out by his hear no evil, see no evil. I have had to ask myself why has an Igbo man not ruled the nation since then and I realised there is a reason. They are the biggest threat to the unity of the nation. Nigeria needs a President who will restructure it and one who will unite the nation not one backed by holigans and people with a closed mind who talk about fairness when they cannot live it. Whoever wins this election will not be a Messiah no matter how good he is, he can be a John the Baptist to lay the ground firm for progress. At a time the opposition could come together they are busy attacking themselves and giving APC a high chance of victory because everyone wants to be President.

Since most of them want to think accross ethnic lines they must know like in football everyone has his own home ground. The North have theirs, the east has theirs and in the end election is a game of numbers, politics and democracy is a game of numbers. How does a President without party members in the Senate and National Assembly pass bills? Did Goodluck Jonathan who was a Southern President with more acceptance from the North and a PDP President find it easy?

A large part of the Niger Delta have PDP as their roots. They feed from PDP. Have their associates from PDP so would they turn against their party for someone who is not better than their party candidate? I fear that Tinubu may end up with the advantage because of Obi.

If Obi wants to be President he should do a real campaign. Not rely on threat game by his supporters. Election is a game of numbers and conviction even more then prayer and fasting. Sell your candidate with valid reasons not stupid logic. Don’t threaten the unity of the nation as you did in 1966. Violence will not make Peter Obi President, conviction can.

Think no further.

Peter Obi is the only candidate that will remove Nigeria from the cesspool.

With Peter Obi you can't be confused. This is the first time Nigeria is having a third option after the rock and hard ground,after the devil and the deep blue sea.

You are entitled to not like Peter Obi and his candidacy, it is not possible for everyone to like any Presidential candidate

What is however ludicrous is to bring Aguiyi Ironsi into it. Someone says that Aguiyi Ironsi and his people did a coup and took over power. But there were 7 other coups that others did and took power, including one led by the current President, that never gets talked about and is never an issue

He then says that thr first coup caused the war, forgetting that the war started 18 months after the first coup. What happend in those 18 months? Counter-coup, pogrom and the Aburi accord, none of which Nigerians want to talk about because it would show that it was Nigeria that caused the war

He then says that Igbos are the biggest threat to the unity of Nigeria. The question then is, if you consider Igbos to be that big a threat, why do you want to united with them in one country? If an Igbo man cannot be President, why do you want them to be with you in one country?

They talk about Igbod embracing others and building bridges

What bridge did a Fulani man like Buhari build as herdsmen from his tribe were killing across Nigeria?

What bridge did a Yoruba man like Obasanjo build as OPC was massacring non indigenes in the South West before and during his tenure?

Both these men enjoyed two tenures

Those who criticise Igbos all went on to do to far worse than Igbos, they conducted far mor bloody coups, had ethnic armies that have killed far more people, become Presidents and brought us to the devastating point where we are today through bad governance

But they still tell the world that Igbos are the problem

To win Presidential election, all you to do is to win majority of the votes with 2/3 of 36 states. There are no conditions with house of rep or senate candidates.



I have been with the Igbos four times
in my career and I can tell you the
Igbo man is a tribalist.

Only a fool would call Igbo people tribalist when it comes to politics.

Igbo gave majority of their votes to Obasanjo despite the fact Ojukwu who is still popular than Peter Obi contested in 2003.

Which is ever the candidate of a major political party, small time you fool will say Yoruba should vote Obi that as no single senator talkmore of a governor. Why not get the ticket of PDP n see if Yorubas won't vote you then than laying claim to a failed party that can't achieve anything. You are as shameless as despicable.
